Variation of 24-hour intraocular pressure in healthy individuals: right eye versus left eye

..In both cases, corneal edema from the acute rise in intraocular pressure (IOP) caused inaccurate IOP measurement by standard methods. The inability to recognize glaucoma early may have resulted in significant irreversible vision loss...

..We present a new principle of direct, continuous, and transcorneal intraocular pressure measurement, describe its theoretical foundation, and evaluate its application on the basis of an in vitro model...

Central corneal thickness in adult Chinese. Association with ocular and general parameters. The Beijing Eye Study

..To assess the reliability of measurements of intraocular pressure (i.o.p.), pulse amplitude (PA), and pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF) and the validity of measurements of IOP with a new ocular blood flow tonograph...

Estimation of intraocular pressure in rabbits with commonly used tonometers

..Any reduction in ocular blood flow due to topical antiglaucoma treatment should therefore be avoided. This study aimed to evaluate the short-term effect of local latanoprost application on ocular hemodynamics...

..In clinical practice ophthalmologists often need a tonometer which is independent of a slit lamp. Such a hand-held device is the Tono-Pen. We compared the precision of two equal Tono-Pens with Goldmann applanation tonometry...

..To evaluate whether keratometric readings as a measure of corneal shape are associated with optic disc dimensions and with the degree and rate of perimetric progression of chronic open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension...

A 6-week, double-masked, parallel-group study of the efficacy and safety of travoprost 0.004% compared with latanoprost 0:005%/timolol 0.5% in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension

..We sought to measure the impact of central corneal thickness (CCT), a possible risk factor for glaucoma damage, and corneal hysteresis, a proposed measure of corneal resistance to deformation, on various indicators of glaucoma damage...

Comparison of the effects of latanoprost, travoprost, and bimatoprost on circadian intraocular pressure in patients with glaucoma or ocular hypertension

A randomized, crossover, open label pilot study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xalatan in comparison with generic Latanoprost (Latoprost) in subjects with primary open angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension

..Thereafter, new tonometers such as the dynamic contour tonometer, the rebound tonometer, and the ocular response analyzer were compared with the Goldmann applanation tonometer and other popular tonometers...

Relationship between central corneal thickness and changes of optic nerve head topography and blood flow after intraocular pressure reduction in open-angle glaucoma and ocular hypertension

..In the validation study, the purposes were to investigate the association between CH and both age and central corneal thickness (CCT) and the agreement between ORA and Goldmann applanation tonometer (GAT) IOP measurements...

A comparison of long-term intraocular pressure fluctuation in patients treated with bimatoprost or latanoprost

..To evaluate the measurement of central corneal thickness (CCT) in a cohort of glaucoma patients over a 3-month period. Measurements were then applied to the criteria described in the Ocular Hypertension Treatment Study (OHTS)...

Efficacy of latanoprost and timolol maleate in black and white patients

..To test the efficacy of bimatoprost 0.03% 2D for lowering intraocular pressure (IOP) in patients affected by primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension who did not respond to treatment with latanoprost 0.005% 2D...

Varying effects of corneal thickness on intraocular pressure measurements with different tonometers

..To evaluate the effects of betaxolol and latanoprost on ocular blood flow and visual fields in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) by means of an observer-masked, prospective clinical study...

[Efficiency of brimonidine 0.2% and dorzolamide 2% as adjunctive therapy to beta-blockers]

..To compare the intraocular pressure (IOP)-lowering effect and safety of latanoprost 0.005% once daily with that of unoprostone 0.15% twice daily for patients with primary open-angle glaucoma or ocular hypertension...

Latanoprost or brimonidine as treatment for elevated intraocular pressure: multicenter trial in the United States

..Corneal thickness could not explain the differences between an IOP measured with the portable tonometers and an IOP measured with the Goldmann tonometer. Patient comfort was slightly higher for ICARE when compared with the Tonopen...

..CONCLUSIONS: At the end of this 30-day trial, once-daily bimatoprost 0.03% provided better diurnal IOP control than latanoprost and was safe and well tolerated in patients with ocular hypertension and glaucoma...

..Such outcomes are significant, since exploiting an animal model for testing neuroprotective strategies that preserve visual function is an important component of future research on treatments for glaucoma. ..

..We currently have no funds to support the proposed analyses. We believe this project offers the possibility of examining important hypotheses in a large group of families in a population-based framework. ..

..Findings will be important to the clinical community for determining future evidence-based changes in standard of care for glaucoma diagnosis and monitoring. [unreadable] [unreadable] [unreadable] [unreadable] [unreadable]..

..In addition, the knowledge gained through this investigation could also help in the identification of patients at risk of developing choroidal neovascularization, thus enabling earlier treatment. [unreadable] [unreadable] [unreadable]..

..The aim of this research is determine how glaucoma affects the neural messages of these cells while the cells are still alive. This information could be used to design novel vision tests that detect the disease at an early stage. ..

..The results will help establish a firm link between oxidative damage and the pathogenesis of AMD and provide new opportunities for developing strategies and therapies for preventing or limiting the complications of AMD. ..

..It is expected, that the large scale community screening effort to recruit study participants with as yet undetected glaucoma, will require screening of 20,000 to 30,000 Malmo citizens in appropriate age groups. ..
